becoming an accountant

[Debbie]

i am considering doing accounting next year at college, if i was to do
this i would then go on and do the degree, but after i finsh the
degree i was wondering what the next steps would be to go on a become
a chartered accountant?

Does your college have career counselling services?
Contact the Institute of Chartered Accountants. They have a web site,
telephone, and offices. Information you get here may be out of date
or incomplete; presumably you can get complete, accurate and current
information from the Institute.

In your final year, apply for a position during the "milk rounds" when
the large firms visit campus. A better option would be to apply
directly to the "local" firms eg. if you're in York Uni, apply to a
York practice, if you're at Cambridge, you'll be welcome anywhere ;-).
Then you'll have to face more exams..good luck.
